PITTSBURGH (AP) For the better part of four hours Pittsburgh and Syracuse raced up and down the Heinz Field turf like kids playing in the street waiting for their parents to call them in for dinner. The touchdowns kept piling up, one after another. An absurd 20 in all.

When Pitt quarterback Nate Peterman mercifully ended it with a simple kneel down to run out a 76-61 victory - the highest scoring regulation game in FBS history - the Panthers trotted toward the band for one last victory song caught somewhere between relief and disbelief, their head coach included.

"I've never been in a game like that," Pat Narduzzi said. "I don't ever want to be in a game like that again. But I'll go back and say there's no such thing as a bad win."
